-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CfP: 1st Workshop on Middleware for a Smarter Use of Electric Energy (MidSEE '15) Datum: Wed, 13 Aug 2014 19:29:53 +1000 Von: Andreas Reinhardt <andreasr(a)CSE.UNSW.EDU.AU> Antwort an: Andreas Reinhardt <andreasr(a)CSE.UNSW.EDU.AU> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ======================================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS MidSEE 2015 1st Workshop on Middleware for a Smarter Use of Electric Energy March 12, 2015 in conjunction with NetSys 2015, Cottbus, Germany https://www.netsys2015.com/workshops-tutorials/midsee/ ======================================================================= MOTIVATION & WORKSHOP SCOPE Smart energy meters are increasingly installed in newly constructed buildings worldwide, as regulated by, e.g., the European Union's Energy Services Directive. Their combination with the vision of an Internet of Things, in which billions of embedded devices will continually monitor the environment, enables the fine-grained monitoring of household and office energy usage and hence a large range of novel services. While many such functions have been devised so far (e.g., advice how to save energy or the disaggregation of electricity bills), these solutions commonly rely on the availability of hard- and software systems by a single manufacturer. Interoperability, including the potential to integrate new energy metering devices, is mostly unsupported due to the wide variety of (non-compatible) standards and communication protocols. This workshop provides a platform to present current research activities in communications and processing of energy consumption data, with its primary focus on electric energy usage.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] Special issue on eHealth in IEEE Systems Journal Datum: Wed, 13 Aug 2014 02:20:05 +0100 Von: Sana Ullah <sanajcs(a)GMAIL.COM> Antwort an: Sana Ullah <sanajcs(a)GMAIL.COM> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS <Special Issue on “Communications Technologies and Infrastructures for Smart eHealth Systems” in IEEE Systems Journal> SCOPE Research advances in healthcare domain have facilitated the integration of different technologies for smart, cost-effective, reliable, and pervasive health monitoring of chronic diseases - which have affected around one billion people worldwide. Current research efforts focus on developing real-time communication methods, mostly for Body Area Networks (BANs) that are used to deliver patients´ information effectively. These efforts are limited to communication within a BAN, however less attention has been given to connect multiple BANs to remote servers in real-time. In addition, there is a limited study on the integration of BANs with different technologies including mobile cloud computing - a technology that may assist in storing and processing the huge amount of BAN data at competitive costs. Machine to Machine (M2M) is also considered to be a valuable tool in delivering BAN data to a remote server/cloud for further analysis. This may assist in reducing risks and cost of remote health monitoring. Unlike conventional research in BANs where researchers focused on individual networks, there is a need to develop innovative communication methods with a focus on complete and smart eHealth systems. This smart eHealth system must integrate the aforementioned technologies with multiple BANs, and provide rich healthcare services to end users. It calls for research on versatile topics ranging from Physical (PHY) and Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols to BANs coexistence, traffic characterization, cloud resource allocation, and cloud monitoring and maintenance. This special issue will focus on novel communication methods for smart eHealth systems, by identifying new perspectives and highlight potential research issues and challenges. Specifically, this special issue will demonstrate how the emerging technologies including cloud computing and/or M2M could be used in future healthcare systems. Original review and survey articles will be considered as well. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - M2M communication methods - Energy-efficient PHY/MAC and networking protocols - BANs and mobile cloud computing - Cloud resource allocation and monitoring - Wearable and implantable computing - IoT for smart eHealth systems - Fault tolerance, reliability and scalability - Traffic characterization - Coexistence issues of multiple BANs - Security and privacy - QoS issues in BANs/cloud computing - Experimental and simulation-based methods - Case studies of smart eHealth architectures Papers should address the above specific topics from the system perspective and in the context of eHealth systems in order to be considered for this special issue. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Authors are invited to submit original research contributions by following the detailed instructions given in the “Information for Authors” at http://www.ieeesystemsjournal.org. In the cover letter, authors should explicitly state that the paper is submitted to the “Special Issue on Communication Technologies and Infrastructures for Smart eHealth Systems”.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] European Workshop on Testbed-Based Wireless Research - Call for Contributions Datum: Tue, 12 Aug 2014 17:08:26 +0200 Von: James Gross <james.gross(a)EE.KTH.SE> Antwort an: James Gross <james.gross(a)EE.KTH.SE> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG ---------------- Call for Contributions ------------------- 2nd European Workshop on Testbed-Based Wireless Research November 19th 2014 KTH Main Campus, Stockholm, Sweden http://people.kth.se/~perz/ewtbwr/2014/ws.html ### Workshop scope ### Over the last decade software-defined radios have become an important tool for evaluating novel ideas on algorithms and protocols for wireless communications and networking. This has been recognized by many research groups in academia and industry, leading to a steady proliferation of wireless testbed equipment around the world. This is accompanied by a massive increase in research output related to experimental evaluation rather than traditional methods like mathematical analysis or simulations. In this workshop, we intend to offer the community a meeting venue for knowledge exchange in a rather informal way. The workshop is dedicated to 1. The presentation of novel research results at an early stage without formal paper submission, reviewing and a subsequent workshop proceeding. This gives researchers the opportunity to get feedback on their work at an early stage, likely improving subsequent publications. 2. Sharing prototyping best-practice and development experience with other researchers and developers in the community, and discussing initiatives and concerns with respect to different development platforms together with representatives of the platform development teams. To achieve this, the workshop is composed of three different parts: - Presentation slots for (early) research results, accompanied by an abstract but no formal paper published later in a proceeding. - Poster and demo presentations also accompanied by an abstract but no paper presented in a proceeding. - Parallel two-hour community meetings, with Mango and National Instruments respectively. The two communities will present the latest new from their respective development platforms USRP (National instruments) and WARP (Mango). These community meetings will also have the opportunity for researchers to discuss their concerns, needs, ideas, suggestions etc. with the company representatives and the broader community. For paper, poster or demo presentation, we solicit contributions in the broad areas of wireless communications and networking as long as they are related to experimental work. Areas of interest are (but not limited to): - Physical layer design - Protocol design, not only limited to the medium access control layer - Network optimization and management - Validation results, i.e. performance comparisons between theoretical and experimental work - Tools for experimental platforms (i.e. new libraries, novel hardware/software designs etc.) ### Registration ### For participants the workshop is free of charge, i.e. we do not request a registration fee. However, participants need to register: - Pure participation requires a registration by November 1st. - Talks need to be registered with a title and an abstract by October 15th. The organizing committee will decide on the assignment of presentation slots if we receive too many registrations for talks. The slot assignments will be based on relevance to the workshop community and novelty of the contribution. - Demos are accepted as they are proposed, as well as poster presentations. Here, we request a registration by November 1st. Abstracts for talks and demos should be limited to two pages in IEEE conference style format. Please register talks, demos and/or participation by sending an email to per.zetterberg(a)ee.kth.se with subject [EWT] . ### Workshop Organization and Program Committee ### - Per Zetterberg (KTH Royal Institute of Technology) - James Gross (KTH Royal Institute of Technology) - Patrick Murphy (Mango Communications) - Leif Johansson (National Instruments) - Linda Doyle (Trinity College Dublin) -- James Gross Associate Professor School of Electrical Engineering Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) Osquldas Väg 10, SE-100 44 Stockholm Phone: +46-8-7908819 Web: people.kth.se/~jamesgr/ -- ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] CfP: First IEEE Workshop on Pervasive Energy Services (PerEnergy) in conjunction with IEEE PerCom 2015 Datum: Mon, 11 Aug 2014 10:37:14 +0200 Von: Frank Dürr <frank.duerr(a)IPVS.UNI-STUTTGART.DE> Antwort an: Frank Dürr <frank.duerr(a)IPVS.UNI-STUTTGART.DE> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG CALL FOR PAPERS First IEEE Workshop on Pervasive Energy Services (PerEnergy) in conjunction with IEEE PerCom 2015 Submission Deadline: November 26, 2014 March 23, 2015, St. Louis, Missouri, USA http://perenergy2015.cs.uni-bonn.de/ ====================================================================== Scope of the Workshop --------------------- A wealth of unexplored knowledge exists in the power data collected from smart meters and smart plugs (i.e., metering equipment for individual wall outlets). Analysis of the data may be used to provide context-based services (e.g., presence detection), but also serve as the foundation for novel services (e.g. automated recommendations for energy savings). To date, the potential of this domain has barely been explored, although more and more energy data is becoming available due to the increasing number of deployed smart metering equipment. At the moment, one of the most important research challenges in smart energy systems is thus the creation of value-added services that exploit the information content in energy generation and consumption data in such a way that they can inspire new functionalities and context models. The aim of this workshop is thus to bring together practitioners and researchers from both academia and industry in order to have a forum for discussion and technical presentations on the recent advances in the numerous opportunities opened up by the use of energy data in context-aware systems. It furthermore serves as a forum for the smart energy research community to discuss open issues, novel solutions and the future development of smart energy management systems in general. Topics of Interest ------------------ Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Novel architectures for the integration of smart meter/smart plugs into pervasive computing systems - Seamless energy meter integration in the design and architecture of smart home/office spaces - Applications relying on energy data including, for instance, energy optimization and sustainable operation of smart cities, household load disaggregation, generation and load forecasting, and other means for informed load shifting - Novel business models relying on energy data - Collection, processing, and integration of energy data to improve the control over loads and generation (e.g., distributed renewable sources) - Security and privacy considerations in smart energy metering, including novel means to mitigate privacy and security threats - Experiences with experimental power metering system prototypes and pilots - Power metering testbeds and data sets for the comparison of household characteristics and processing approaches in a globalized world - Industrial use cases showing gaps to be filled by future research Submission Instructions ----------------------- Authors are invited to submit regular (full) papers for presentation at the workshop, describing original, previously unpublished work, which is not currently under review by another workshop, conference, or journal. Regular papers should present novel perspectives within the general scope of the workshop. Submissions of papers must be formatted according to the IEEE 8.5x11 conference format and must not exceed 6 pages. Papers in excess of page limits shall not be considered for review or publication. Accepted papers will appear in the IEEE PerCom '15 Workshops proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society Press. The authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the workshop. Each accepted paper requires a full PERCOM registration to appear in the proceedings (no registration is available for workshops only). Submissions are handled through the EDAS system. It is a requirement that all authors listed in the submitted paper are also listed in EDAS. The author section of EDAS will be locked after the workshop submission deadline to ensure that conflicts of interest can be properly enforced during review. If the list of authors differs between the paper and EDAS, the paper may not be reviewed. Further submission instructions can be found on the workshop web page: http://perenergy2015.cs.uni-bonn.de/ Important Dates --------------- - Submissions deadline: November 26, 2014 - Paper notification: January 9, 2015 - Camera ready: January 28, 2015 - Workshop date: March 23, 2015 Organization ------------ Workshop Organizers: - Andreas Reinhardt (School of Computer Science and Engineering, The University of New South Wales, Australia) eMail: andreasr(a)cse.unsw.edu.au - Delphine Christin (Institute of Computer Science 4, University of Bonn; Fraunhofer FKIE) eMail: christin(a)cs.uni-bonn.de - Frank Duerr (Institute of Parallel and Distributed Systems, University of Stuttgart, Germany) eMail: frank.duerr(a)ipvs.uni-stuttgart.de Technical Program Committee: - Oliver Amft, University of Passau - Christian Beckel, ETH Zurich - Mario Berges, Carnegie Mellon University - Delphine Christin, University of Bonn, Fraunhofer FKIE - Hermann de Meer, University of Passau - Frank Duerr, University of Stuttgart - Wilfried Elmenreich, University of Klagenfurt - Stefan Katzenbeisser, Technische Universität Darmstadt - Georgios Konstantinou, The University of New South Wales - Sebastian Lehnhoff, University of Oldenburg - Stephen Makonin, Simon Fraser University - Oliver Parson, University of Southampton - Joern Ploennigs, IBM Research - Andreas Reinhardt, The University of New South Wales - Anita Sobe, University of Neuchatel - Mariya Sodenkamp, Otto-Friedrich-Universität Bamberg - Jay Taneja, IBM Research Lab Nairobi - Steffen Wendzel, Fraunhofer FKIE Further nominations pending. ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.
